Btw, how's the hours like? Is it similar to the US where you have to pull 80-100hours with a couple of all nighters here and there?

Its not just ivies/oxbridge, but also Insead and certain Chinese and Indian universities. Probably about 90%, even though casualty rate is probablya round 40% after a few years. So, if you don't have a top degree, you have to be extraordinarily lucky to get in. But getting in is not enough. Everyone around you is smart and driven.
Hours depend on department. Worst is corporate finance, equity research. Easiest is asset management.
